Patrick Stewart dropping by to chat with Stephen Colbert is a recipe for delight. And the two did not disappoint last night as they immediately jumped into what message from the future Patrick Stewart would send to the younger version of himself (a la X-Men: Days of Future Past), the perks of knighthood, his grudge against the Harry Potter franchise, and — most importantly of all — how the hell Sir Patrick has managed not to age since The Next Generation days (spoiler: he vehemently denies ritualistically drinking virgin blood).

I mean seriously, just look at that visual evidence. Colbert is on the case…

lol 4 or 5 years ago when I still (for some reason) read HuffPo, I commented on this very thing… and proceeded to have one of the conceded assholes over there absolutely jump in my shit for saying he hadn’t aged. For some reason this guy felt compelled to point out all the little ways Mr. Stewart had aged and call me a moron for saying he hadn’t.

I’m not sure why I felt compelled to share that story. He really has aged amazingly well, though. Cheers, Mr. Stewart. A treasure, you are.
